Alaska Overtime Rules
Alaska has daily overtime. For most employers with four or more employees, overtime is 1.5× the regular rate after 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week.
- 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 8 in a single day or 40 in a workweek.
- No double time: Alaska does not require a 2× rate.
- The daily rule generally applies to employers with four or more employees.
Because Alaska counts daily hours, a 10-hour day generates 2 hours of overtime even if the weekly total stays under 40 — something a federal weekly-only calculator would miss.
The Alaska minimum wage is $11.91/hour (tipped minimum $11.91). Adjusted annually for inflation. Overtime is calculated on your actual hourly rate, not the minimum. See the full 2026 minimum wage table or compare states side by side.
